Say I want something to start moving half way through the animation, 
I tend to do something like:

object{
       Strobe
       #if(clock>0.5)        
          rotate y*clock*135
          rotate x*clock*270
        #end
        }

And here's how I animated the Strobe that's on my gallery page,
I havn't uploaded the animation as I havn't got round to converting it
to mpeg yet. 

object{
       Strobe
       #if(clock<=0.333)        
          rotate y*clock*135
          rotate x*clock*270
        #end
          
        #if(clock>0.333 & clock<=0.666)        
           rotate y*clock*135
           rotate x*90
           rotate y*(clock-0.333)*270
        #end
           
        #if(clock>0.666)        
           rotate y*clock*135
           rotate x*90
           rotate y*90
           rotate z*(clock-0.666)*270
        #end

        translate<0,5,10>       
        photons{
                target 0.75
                refraction off
                reflection on
               }            
      }         
 
I wrote this a few years ago so the photon code is probably out of
date.  Hope some of that is useful.
